"Yes!"

"It's the black market!"

"You know where the black market is, right?"

Lieutenant Awen looked at the street in front of him and was talking with some emotion. Then, Lieutenant Awen, who suddenly remembered that Annie was still a little girl, turned around and asked.

"I know!"

(^▽^)

"Is it a place where bad guys evade taxes, avoid regulations and sell contraband?"

(゜▽＾*)

After winking playfully, Anne said with some disdain: Although she is indeed a little girl, she is not a fool.

This kind of place is similar to the Knockturn Alley in Diagon Alley that she has been to. She has seen many of them.

Moreover, she, the Head of State Anne, once sold some "firecrackers" or "fireworks" toys in a black market on the Citadel Space Station.

Of course, she would not admit that she was a bad guy. The bad guy was Sister Shepard. Who told her not to give her a little more money? And she was too embarrassed to steal it openly, so she

I can only take out some of my valuable toys and exchange them for money on the black market.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"You're right!"

"It's probably a place like that, but this black market was opened by big shots, and it's different from the ones you mentioned."

"After all, no matter where you are, there is always some darkness that cannot see the light."

As he said that, Lieutenant Awen nodded and sighed, as if he had remembered something bad, but he didn't want to say more.

"Originally there was a company building above this place, but now it has collapsed and the original entrance has been completely buried."

"But you know, this kind of place has more than one entrance and exit, and there's another backup."

"A few years before the disaster, I accidentally discovered this place while working on a case. I thought I would never come back again, but I never thought..."

"Finally, only half a month after the catastrophe, we couldn't hold on anymore. After escaping from an official shelter, I took my soldiers and some refugees to hide here, and we stayed here

of people have persisted until now.”

"Fortunately, because this is a black market that is independent of the city's regulatory system, there is no shortage of materials or energy. Otherwise, the survival of hundreds of thousands of us would be a big problem!"

Speaking of this, Lieutenant Awen didn't know what he thought of, and his face showed expressions of trance, pain, and gnashing of teeth.

"There are as many as hundreds of thousands of people here?"

!(;o)o

Anne asked again in surprise.

"certainly!"

"In fact, it's not a problem that hundreds of thousands of people can be accommodated here in theory!"

"Otherwise we wouldn't go out searching for survivors so often."

"Moreover, there are hundreds of similar places in Guixi Market, large and small. We are all connected to each other, but it is only a connection, but our respective locations will not be easily exposed."

"After all, demons are not the kind of monsters without intelligence. They can also use advanced technologies, so we have to guard against them."

Speaking of demons, Lieutenant Awen's originally relaxed face couldn't help but become a little solemn. It seemed that they or someone had suffered a big loss when they didn't pay attention to confidentiality?

"Too!"

(~)

"But although this place looks nice, it won't work if it continues like this. Sooner or later, it will be discovered, right?"

(O ^~^ O)

Although underground shelters are very safe, it depends on the era.

Anyway, in Annie's opinion, in this interstellar era, especially for those psykers who have colluded with the subspace demons, waiting for the time to slowly find and clean up the humans hiding underground is not good for them.

It shouldn't be difficult for them?

"It does!"

"More than two months have passed, almost three months. As you can see, the situation on the ground is not optimistic. After the demons have cleared away the resistance and living people on the ground, it must be our turn next.

Are these rats hiding underground?"

"They know we are underground, but they just don't have time to deal with it for the time being. After all, no matter how different the survivors are on the ground and in the ruins, there are still 10 to 20 million."

Lieutenant Awen had obviously thought about this issue.

But thinking about it, they didn't have much to do about it. They knew that staying here was waiting for death, and they knew that sooner or later the demons would come to their door, but they didn't have many good ways to do it.

"Then you haven't thought about breaking out and running out?"

()

"Just waiting here to die?"

(ˇˇ)

Hearing what the other party said, Anne couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked tentatively.

"Breakout?"

"Ah!"

"It's useless. How can we break through with so many people?"

"A small team may be okay, but how are these hundreds of thousands of people going to get out?"

"I'm afraid that one or two thousand people will be discovered by the devil before they even get up there. Then there might be another massacre!"

He continued to sigh, and before Annie could ask again, Lieutenant Awen continued to say bitterly:

"But it's too late to break through so far!"

"Those demons seem to be targeting us. Recently, we can always find them appearing and wandering nearby, and they have deliberately avoided attacking us several times."

"Although we have ambushed and eliminated their pursuers several times, but..."

"After a few times, they became more and more cunning. At first, they were just followed by ordinary demons, but in recent days, they have always found some demons with detection equipment, and even demon dogs that are good at tracking. They even started to

Using some simple tactics, it becomes increasingly difficult to deal with."

"So, I plan not to go out in the near future, otherwise something bad will definitely happen."

Then, as he spoke, he expressed one of his thoughts.

"Difficult to deal with?"

()

"Like what happened today?"

(⊙⊙)

Anne couldn't help but interject and asked.

Because she remembered that the demons today were indeed very cunning. They seemed to have strategies to deal with everything. They could not help but lurk around and prepared so many demon dogs. That was her, the Head of State Anne. If it were the one in front of her.

Uncle Awen, I'm afraid those dozens of people will definitely be wiped out, right?

"That's right!"

"I have to admit, they are getting more and more difficult to deal with!"

"At the beginning, they were just the kind of monsters that only relied on numbers to move forward, without any wisdom at all."

"But now"

After sighing, Lieutenant Awen did not intend to continue talking.

"Let's go!"

"have to go now."

"Shall I take you to meet our leader?"

Then, he turned around and saw that the survivors they found today had been registered and reviewed by specialized personnel. After seeing that he didn't have to worry about those little things, Lieutenant Awen thought for a while,

Then he motioned to Annie to follow him into this shelter that looked like a bustling street.

"??"

(°ー°〃)

"leader?"

()

"Uncle Awen, aren't you the leader here?"
